Wednesday Wisdom - The Ending
After quite the break, I am feeling the itch to play in this space once again. And this seemed like the perfect way to jump back in.....
Wednesday Wisdom: The Thing You Think You Cannot Do
I did it. I did the think I thought I could not do. I'm still processing what that means....
Triathlon recap to come tonight....
TNT: The Final Countdown
Every time I hear that term, I can't help but think of this clip from "Arrested Development":

Race day is only three days away and I'm sick. Womp womp. I've been battling it all week and today I finally just gave in. I'm spending today on the couch, watching bad movies and drinking my weight in orange juice and soup.
I'm hoping that this all blows over in time for the race. At thins point, I'm competing no matter what. I'd just like to be doing it without coughing up my lungs.

Wednesday Wisdom: *giggle*
This is making me laugh out loud today, and then I wind up coughing up a lung because I am slogging through a cold. Yes, 4 days before my first triathlon. Blerg. So while it makes me cough, the laugh is much-needed.
Wednesday Wisdom
I am repeating this to myself today.
Why is it so hard to take that first step sometimes?
Love Is In The Details
If you know me, you know I love planning parties. I love picking a theme and coordinating colors. I love brainstorming cute touches that go the extra mile.
It seems Ben may have picked up a thing or two over the last few years. This week we were discussing his upcoming birthday party. We were talking cake ideas and who had RSVPed,when talk turned to favors.
He has asked for an Olympics-themed party and we are going all out with a USA/London theme, complete with gold medals as favors. When I told him each child would receive a gold medal, he asked if we could put their names on it.
"Hmm, I don't know", I said, thinking of all the extra work that would entail for me.
"I think it's better with everyone's name, because then they will think it's really special. Like, they will think "I went to Ben's party and he gave me a gold medal with MY name on it. That was really nice".
The thing is? He's right. Last year, we gave out personalized bowling shirts to all the friends that came to his party. I can't slack this year!
So it looks like I'm personalizing 20 gold medals.
